Instituting a daily Quiet Time is one of the BEST things I've done for my kids (and for me!). But I know it's not always easy to do it, especially with strong-willed kiddos. I hope my three tips will help you to start this routine in your family! *** - 3 Takeaways for Quiet Time -Remember how good quiet time is for your kids. It will help them learn how to do deep, creative, independent play. Set them up for success by making sure they have interesting and novel toys that inspire creative play and a way to track the time. Expect that you will have to train and teach your kids to do Quiet Time. Start with a very short timeframe, and work up from there.  >>>Are these tips about quiet time helpful?

Procrastination steals something precious from us - it steals time that we can never get back.  In today's episode, I discuss how I fight procrastination (and sometimes win).Find the transcript HEREJody Moore episode 271: Discomfort Now or LaterFree Webinar by April Perry of Learn Do Become (affiliate)The STEP Program by April Perry of Learn Do Become (affiliate)

Many people have asked me, “Is the https://3-in-30-podcast.myshopify.com/ (Flecks of Gold Journal) good for moms of older children and teenagers too?” YES! This journal is for any mom who wants to focus on the JOY in her daily and relationships, no matter how old her children are! The “flecks” you write down will be very different if you have teenagers instead of toddlers, but those golden moments are still there. And especially if you are going through a bit of rocky time with your teenager, it might be all the more important to notice those Flecks of Gold...or as my guest, https://www.instagram.com/sarenloosli/?hl=en (Saren Eyre Loosli), and I discuss in today’s episode, create them.  You might recognize Saren’s name from other episodes of 3 in 30–that’s because she has been a mentor of mine for almost ten years and has deeply impacted my motherhood. Saren co-founded the website Power of Moms with April Perry, and I was a writer and editor there for many years before I started 3 in 30. Saren is the one who gave me the advice that is at the heart of the Flecks of Gold journal and that I’ve mentioned on the show before, “In motherhood, the hard moments sometimes outnumber the beautiful moments; but the beautiful moments always outweigh the hard moments.” Listen in for my discussion with her about how we can continue to focus on the beautiful moments in motherhood even as our children become teenagers! Three Takeaways Continue to prioritize tuck-in time with your teenagers. This can be as simple as going in to give them a quick kiss and compliment at the end of the day. Respect and get excited about their abilities and interests. Let them coach and teach you for once, and it might lead to really beautiful moments of connection.  Talk less, hug more. Let your teens feel their big emotions. Try not to lecture them or use to many words when they are upset...just give them a little physical connection which will hopefully lead to more emotional connection.  *** Show Notes Saren’s website: https://poweroffamilies.com/ (PowerofFamilies.com) https://www.instagram.com/power_of_families/?hl=en (Power of Families' Instagram) https://poweroffamilies.com/radio/ (Power of Families' Podcast) *** Many thanks to our sponsors! https://www.pta.org/center-for-family-engagement/notes-from-the-backpack (Notes from the Backpack Podcast,) hosted by the National PTA.

April has spent thousands of hours developing an organization system that helps important people–from business leaders to mothers–control the chaos in their *minds* so they can focus on their true priorities. In this episode, April explains this process in detail: 1) Make an ACCURATE list of all of the projects you have brewing in your mind.  2) Narrow that list to no more than 7-8 projects to tackle this month. Put that shorter list in a visible place to reference often. 3) Using that list, identify tiny “next actions” that will move each project forward.

It's time to talk about working smarter, not harder in order to increase your productivity. How to Be More Productive With Simple Changes Have you ever wondered how you can be more productive? The solution may be staring you in the face and easier than you think. Here's an example straight from my closet. Every morning I woke up, walked into my closet, flipped on the light, and picked out clothes. And every morning I spent a ton of time just staring at my clothes-well, squinting at my clothes. After months and months, I realized I had a problem. My problem? My energy-saving light bulb. It took time to warm up and actually illuminate my clothes. And every morning I had to either wait for the lightbulb to heat up or squint. You know what I finally did? I put in a normal light bulb! Angels shone down from heaven and I could actually see my clothes when I picked them out. It's funny to think about, but we do this in other areas of our lives, don't we? We live with problems instead of actually fixing them. We've all been there. The sink has been leaking for years. And instead of fixing it, you clean up the puddle every time you use it. We just live with the problem and take extra time every day dealing with the consequences, not the source. You have one sad phone charger with a wire sticking out, and it's on its last leg. Instead of getting multiple phone chargers and leaving them several places around the house, you just carry the one with you everywhere. You lose it or risk electrocution multiple times a day. We live with the broken phone charger instead of taking the time to find a solution. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Our problems are not going to change until we bring solutions. I get it. We are tired, and solving the root of the problem requires thinking and energy and time. I want to challenge you to use some time and energy to get to the root of some of the problems holding you back. If you want a different result, you have to do something differently. If we're going to work smarter, not harder, we've got to get rid of some of these problems. Three Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder 1. Stop Press pause on your crazy life for a second. Your brain is CONSTANLY in overdrive. It's going 100 miles an hour all day, every day. If we're going to think outside our problems, we have to stop. You can't identify the root of your problems if there's no margin in your brain. Stop and create some space to think. 2. Think Thinking . . . what's that like? HA! Once you've stopped long enough to create space to think, you might be surprised what you can identify. Think through your day from start to finish, and ask yourself this question: What barriers or annoyances do you deal with? Identify areas that drive you crazy and keep you from getting things done. Things that steal your time but don't have to. Problems that you accept but don't have to. Annoyances you live with but don't have to. It could be a small thing that is a drain on your mental or physical energy. Make a list. 3. Solution Take your list and write out to the side a solution for each of the problems you live with. Most of the "problems" in our lives have a very easy and obvious solution. We just haven't come up with the solution, because we've never taken time to come up with it. You might need to get on Amazon and order several phone chargers, get a new light bulb, set out your clothes the night before, or buy yourself a jewelry case. The Difference Between Problems You Can Solve and Problems You Can't Solve There are problems you can live with and problems you don't have to live with. You probably have some problems that you might have to live with, but I'd be willing to bet that you also have a lot that you don't. Stop. Think. Solution. Stop going 100 miles per hour. Think about what's holding you back....

This week's podcast episode is going to help you simply your life and business. The stress of chaotic schedules and spaces keeps us from living effectively. I know for me a few practical tips can make all the difference. Our guest this week has personally helped me simplify my own life through simple, easy-to-do daily changes. One small change got me thinking beyond my personal life to business. I can't wait to share a few tips to simplify your business today! Five Ways to Simplify Your Business 1. Simplify Your Paperwork In addition to a laundry mountain, I have mail mountain. It piles up high for weeks or months until I finally address it and sort it into neat stacks. What if we had permanent stacks? What if there were permanent places where those things go? What if we created, like my friend April Perry calls it, a Command Center? You probably already know the main categories of paperwork you encounter throughout the month in your business. Just start there. Do a little bit of work on the front end, and create spaces to sort your paperwork as it comes in! Whether it's your email inbox, your computer desktop, or a few literal spaces, this strategy is going to help reduce stress in the long run. 2. Simplify Your Workspace When my husband Matt and I were planning our wedding and had a larger invitation list than our budget would allow, our wedding planner provided us with a challenge: cut 10%. We eliminated 10% of our list by eliminating from each category. The same challenge can be applied to your workspace. What if you cut a percentage of what was there? Let's say 30%. Go into your work space and choose 30% of the items taking up space to sort, store, or throw away. Junk, clutter, and the seventeen pieces of artwork from your children are overwhelming your space. It's time to approach your workspace with an elimination mindset. Imagine creating a workspace you actually want to work in. You'll enjoy your work more when you've created a space that you love. Related: How to Have More Time 3. Simplify Your Product or Service Offerings When it comes to your customers, less is more. In products, design, and content, it's important to create clarity. If it's complicated to you, it's even more complicated to your customers. You want to make sure you have a clear path for your customers. A million options with a million varieties is not clear for your customers. It's overwhelming. Research shows the more options you give people, the less likely they are to buy. People do better with limited options. Get rid of anything in your product offerings that wastes space, doesn't sell, you don't enjoy making, or has a horrible profit margin. You'll leave more space and fewer options for your customers to actually buy what they want. 4. Simplify Your Website Just like with your product offerings, your website needs to be simple and clear for your customers. My friend Donald Miller says, "People don't buy the best products and services; they buy those they understand the quickest." People understand the fastest when you give them a few simple words. Everything needs to have a purpose and a point-every tab, landing page, and product description. If it doesn't, it doesn't need to be there. When I'm writing a talk, I challenge myself to write the "one sentence." What's the one thing I want people to know? Then everything I say points back to that one thing. Your website should be just like that! Your website is a source of communication with your customers. Make it as clear as possible. What landing page, words, or images are not the most important things you want your customer to know? What words are confusing? What words are a distraction? 5. Simplify Your Schedule Similar to your workspace, you can approach your schedule with an elimination mindset. Set a goal and take a percentage right off the top. It's time to find some margin, and the best way...

Here's something that won't come as a surprise to anyone: men and women are different. That means we approach business differently, too! We have unique strengths and also unique challenges. So in this episode, I'll unpack tips on how you can pursue your passions and be successful. Plus, my guest this week is financial journalist, author and speaker Jean Chatzky. She'll walk us through her journey to finding success, from self-proclaimed high school math geek to magazine writer to unexpectedly starting her own company.
